Class 142 "Pacer" DMUs are now history, as I write this in 2021, having finally been removed from the UK's main line rail routes. But many have made it to heritage railways around the country. At 09.39 nos. 142063 and 142062 combine to work a Paignton to Exmouth service, rounding the bend at the foot of Langstone Rock. These two were amongst the unlucky ones though. Both were scrapped in 2020.
